Rendering My Birthday Gifts, part I
:)
___________
You know those long summer afternoons, when you come back home after a morning on the beach, and there's *that* almost silent light that seems to sing along with the ever-present surf... and the house is in shade, but you just can *feel* the hot waiting outside...
___________
This is my first try at a fake-HDRI render. The only illumination in the scene comes from the HDRI sphere surrounding it and from a single radial (white, value 1, no falloff) in the up right corner. I'd like to thank a lot Ornlu and Draculaz in the IRC channel where we meet and chat (go take a peek, if you want, here you can find the instructions on how to) for the help and the tips they gave me.
____________________________
And thanx a whole lot to Susan (eelie) that sent me her Shells as a bday gift a couple of days before they showed up in the freestuff section (nyah, nyah, nyah... LOL). They're beautiful, Susan... thanx again!
______________
Some info: rendered at 1100x880 with Premium FX DOF at 144 rpp. Rendertime 8 hours. I tried also True Ambience in some tests, but the estimate rendertime was 2 days at 64rpp and the difference was minimal, so at the end I decided to leave it out.

Thanx for stopping by. Any comments and/or criticism are more than welcome.
Have a wonderful week!

Questo mi sorprende davvero! Beh, a parte l'ovvia qualit il secondo motivo che molto tempo fa avevo fatto una cosa abbastanza simile, anche se con tonalite atmosfera totalemente diverse. Suggestivo, come sempre, l'angolo di ripresa. Molto belle le conchiglie e i materiali, ma specialmente le rugosite le luci radenti, oltre al tocco della chiazza d'acqua sul tavolo. Molto bella anche la profonditdella scena. Probabilmente sarai stanco del solito Voto. ;o))))
